Yeah, I’m sure he’s a great guy in real life but I saw that god awful reboot of Kolchak the Night Stalker. “TERRIFIC” isn’t the adjective I’d use.

I agree. Sadly, though, we’d be up to our necks in a sea of fanboys crying foul–just as they did for “Battlestar.”

I can’t believe I made it through the entire pilot episode of that rubbish.

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-7441The only thing as questionable as internet rumors are damage-control “answers” so excuse me if I take that one-sentence blog with a grain of salt…even though it hardly matters one way or the other (note the article’s skepticism). I seem to recall Carter & Spotnitz saying they had a “planned out mythology” for XF too…and we all know that was bullshit.

And if you “hate to burst all the XF haters bubbles” wouldn’t Spotnitz’s denial be GOOD news?

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-7442Maybe do some reading on the blog in question before trotting out the same ol’, same ol’ ‘damage control’ response guff. Spotnitz’s blog is one of the best around; he’s knows exactly whats going on.

And yes, you’re right, Spotnitz’s denial IS good news. The ” bubble” in question pertains to the previous commenter’s delight in this ‘news’ . You clearly missed this point.

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-7444I don’t recall anyone being “delighted” by the news. Anyway, as with all third-party scoops on the internet, 9 times out of 10 its just the creators running their mouths off…which is why the article said this news was “wishful thinking.”

And, yes, I read the blog in question. Still don’t buy it. The day the XF creators actually tell the truth to the press is the day I change my name to Belinda Whoreshpinkle.

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-7446Well, you better get your documents in order Belinda! (Whorespinkle really is a touch of genius, I must say)

Spotnitz has been relaying news direct from the horse’s mouth all year on his blog, in relation to IWTB and the series in general. Literally every single piece of information he’s been asked to verify( and believe me, there’s lots) he has done so. He’s also been the go-to for a lot of the fanbase regarding release dates, premieres, cast lists, you name it. Why exactly would you think he wouldn’t be in the loop as it pertains to his own film? Strange attitude to take. It’s also a bit juvenile to still be thinking that Spotnitz et al have some sort of disdain for the press. When they have to ( and by god did they have to when it came down to it this time round) they’ll shill as good as the rest of ’em.

It’s bullshit, plain and simple. ” I Want to Believe” does indeed seem to be the mantra in this case.
